    The story of a turning-point year in Britain’s bus industry, with numerous photos and “extensive and informative” captions (Trolleybus Magazine). 
     
    1967 was the year that preceded the end of an era, when private and semi-nationalized companies operated the bus networks in Britain. After 1967, the network was never the same again, with the formation of the National Bus Company in 1968. 
     
    The NBC was a very bland organization compared to the colorful bus companies that had existed before nationalization, and many small municipal fleets amalgamated to form Passenger Transport Executives. This comprehensive volume covers a large number of the bus companies throughout the country in 1967—and Jim Blake also provides lively descriptions of his journeys traveling on these services across Britain.

    Digital technologies today are no longer only impacting the way individuals interact with one another and carry out their daily lives. Smartphones and applications, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and different applications and advanced technologies all allow people to connect all around the world and use their personal (handheld) technologies to provide immense benefit. Some of the greatest benefits today for personal use of digital technologies are allowing people to connect with one another via the Internet of Things (IoT), and other universal technologies. They allow for seamless connectivity across platforms, across different types of technologies, and make this connectivity accessible for more users.  
    In addition to this, however, another critical application of digital technologies is the digitalization of business. It is something that gives businesses a competitive advantage against competitors, by simply allowing them to perform more efficiently and effectively. Much like the personal benefits of digitalization and technology, the digitalization of business—and the use of digital technology in business—it allows for businesses and employees to be very interconnected; and allows them to achieve greater efficiency in day-to-day operations and strategic goals. Other similar benefits also arise from means of greater innovation, faster communication, and greater cost-savings in various areas of business. 
    That said, one area in particular that is benefiting tremendously from increased use of digital technologies is entrepreneurship. Digital entrepreneurship is something that, in recent years, has become more prevalent than ever. With the increase in businesses relying on eCommerce, businesses using digital technologies to support essential operations, and entrepreneurs increasingly creating digital-only businesses—this is not just a trend, but a direction of business and entrepreneurship today.

    Halfway to Heaven - My...

    Fat, forty-four, father of three sons, and facing a vasectomy, Mark Obmascik would never have guessed that his next move would be up a 14,000-foot mountain. But when his twelve-year-old son gets bitten by the climbing bug at summer camp, Obmascik can't resist the opportunity for some high-altitude father-son bonding by hiking a peak together. After their first joint climb, addled by the thin air, Obmascik decides to keep his head in the clouds and try scaling all 54 of Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains, known as the Fourteeners -- and to do them in less than one year. The result is Halfway to Heaven, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Obmascik's rollicking, witty, sometimes harrowing, often poignant chronicle of an outrageous midlife adventure that is no walk in the park, although sometimes it's A Walk in the Woods -- but with more sweat and less oxygen. Half a million people try climbing a Colorado Fourteener every year, but only twelve hundred have reported summiting them all. Can an overweight, stay-at-home dad become No. 1,201?  With his ebullient personality and sparkling prose, Obmascik brings us inside the quirky, colorful subculture of mountaineering obsessives who summit these mountains year after year. Honoring his concerned wife's orders not to climb alone, Obmascik drags old friends up the slopes, some of them lifelong flatlanders tasting thin air for the first time, and lures seasoned Rockies junkies into taking on a huffing, puffing newbie by bribing them with free beer, lunches, and car washes. Among the new friends he makes are an ex-drag racer trying to perform a headstand on every summit, the lead oboe player in a Hebrew salsa band, and a climber with the counterproductive pre-climb ritual of gulping down four beers and a burrito. Along the way, Obmascik experiences the raw, rowdy, and rarely seen intimacy of male friendship, braced by the double intoxicants of adrenaline and altitude.  Though danger is always present -- the Colorado Fourteeners have killed more climbers than Mount Everest -- Mark knows his aging scalp can't afford the hair-raising adventures of Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, and his quest becomes a story of family, friendship, and fraternity. In Obmascik's summer of climbing, he loses fifteen pounds, finds a few dozen man-dates, and gains respect for the history of these storied mountains (home to cannibalism, gold rushes, shoot-outs, and one of the nation's most famed religious shrines). As much about midlife and male bonding as it is about mountains, Halfway to Heaven tells how weekend warriors can survive them all as they reach for those most distant things -- the summits of mountains and a teenage son. And as one man exceeds the physical achievements of his youth, he discovers that age -- like summit height -- is just a number.
